Are DNA test results confidential?

Yes, the privacy of your family and your pet is our top priority. The Koko Genetics DNA test results are 100% confidential. To guarantee your security, we have designed a strict anonymization protocol from the very moment you take the sample.

Your pet's data protection process works as follows:

  • Anonymous registration: When you activate your genetic test on our platform, you do so using a unique code located on the tube or envelope where the swabs (the cotton buds to collect the sample) are kept.

  • Information encryption: Once the kit is registered, your personal data is unlinked from the biological sample and automatically converted into an encrypted alphanumeric code.

  • Blind analysis: Thanks to this encryption system, neither the laboratory staff nor the IT team in charge of the analysis has access to your identity or personal data at any point in the process. They solely work with that alphanumeric code.

  • Maximum security and regulatory compliance: We strictly follow the guidelines of the GDPR (European General Data Protection Regulation). To ensure this compliance, we have established robust physical barriers in our facilities as well as IT-level cybersecurity measures to shield your privacy at all times.

You can have complete peace of mind that your furry companion's genetic information is managed under the highest security and confidentiality standards in the industry.
